If reverse engineering the FGLRX is more useful than using specs from AMD then the hole support from AMD is a lie?

or maybe i didn't understand you here.

yeah you didn't understand because I never said it in a general way. We just know in some cases that fglrx uses the hw in ways that the docs don't/won't cover, e.g. UVD. In most cases this isn't true, and its fine to never RE fglrx, because the docs are fine.

So really in most cases I wouldn't dream of RE'ing fglrx since we have good enough docs/access to engineers.

ok then in "video playback" and "power-management" the spec and AMD support is a lie... and the other stuff from AMD is fine.

not sure who you think AMD lied to, they never said they'd provide open support for anything until they cleared it.

OK. Never mind... On a serious note, I have not seen any commits lately for VDPAU State Tracker. Does anyone know if H.264 support is in the works yet? I had to move to NVIDIA card for my HTPC about six months ago and was not particularly happy about it.

Or do I get sent back to the "Aperture Science Enrichment Center" for asking this question?
